Why does the value displayed for the occupied space in UltraSearch differ from the value in Windows Explorer?

Question / Problem

Why does the value displayed for the occupied space in UltraSearch differ from the value in Windows Explorer?

Answer / Solution

These differences can occur because of NTFS-specific features which are not recognized by the Windows Explorer.

UltraSearch recognizes compressed and sparse files as well as hard links. The new compression methods LZX and XPress, introduced with Windows 10, are supported with UltraSearch.
